Police Dispatcher Polygraph

Hey All,
I have just recently finished filling out my PHS and will be setting up my background investigation interview in the next couple of weeks after I have collected all of the needed documents. I am in the process for a dispatch position at the San Gabriel PD in CA. ANyone know how they work? I'm curious as to what the background investigation interview is like and what sort of questions are asked during the polygraph. Also, on my PHS it says that there MIGHT be a polygraph test. Does that mean some agencies don't do polygraphs for this position? I have nothing to hide besides light marijuana use but I'm just wondering. I'm freaking out just because I've been reading about the intensity of the tests! ANyways, any type of informative response will help! Thanks!
